it does get better. seasons 2 and 3 are a blast, and season 4 has been pretty good all summer (except for the Furry episode, which was the worst episode they've ever done -- it was kind of mean-spirited).

the problem, though, is that the characters have remained shallow. unlike SATC, where over the course of Season 3, and especially the episode where Miranda's mother dies, the characters haven't been allowed to grow and change and develop. unless that happens, and it's done skillfully, the show doesn't have much life left.

but it's a hoot. and it makes me want to move to LA.

and the new $30K a month house they're renting right now!?!?!?!

(i'm also an episode or two behind right now)

I'll have to rent it on winter break. It's going to be a busy fall.

I hear it does get better, maybe I should just get an overview of Season 1 online then rent the rest of them.
